Department of Cultural and Community Engagement. Division of Arts and Museums. Folk Arts Program Highway 12 cultural survey records, 2003-2011.

Gael Hill of the Scenic Byway Committee contacted the Folk Arts Program about producing a booklet and CD about Highway 12 similar to the product of the Sanpete cultural survey. Ultimately the BLM via the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and the Glen Canyon National History Association produced the booklet, while the Folk Arts Program, with assistance from the Utah Humanities Council, produced the CD. The booklet features the history, natural history and culture of the region, while the CD explores these topics through the original songs and performances by area residents. With a grant from the Utah Humanities Council, public presentations of featured musicians were given in Torrey at the Entrada Institute and at the Escalante Arts Festival. This series includes recordings of these presentations, copies of several interviews done in the 1980s for the Southern Utah Oral History Project, various photographs and documents related to the cultural survey, and the final booklet and CD.
